Qualifying Sees Two APR Motorsport GTI's in the Top Five at Miller

Tooele, Utah - APR Motorsport team drivers Dion von Moltke and Mark White
took advantage of cool morning air in Utah to put their turbocharged VW
GTI race cars in positions 2 and 5 on the grid for the Sunday's KONI
Challenge race at Miller Motorsports Park.

The APR crew worked exceptionally hard to calibrate engine management in
both cars to match 4,400ft base elevation here at Miller and the success
was evident with today's qualifying results. The engine management work,
coupled with cold air and a circuit design that suits the VW's, resulted
in yet another top five qualifier for APR in it's inaugural season.

Dion von Moltke, who teams with Ian Baas, paced the APR cars, placing his
#171 VW GTI second on the grid on his third lap of qualifying. von
Moltke ran a 3:15.642, missing the pole by a mere .033, the time
difference between first and second equaling 3.995ft after an entire 4.5
mile lap. Dion said about his qualifier: "I am really happy at the
second place grid position, though I'd be lying if I didn't say I
really wanted that pole! I am really excited for the race tomorrow and I
want to thank the crew for giving us a simply fantastic car."

Mark White, who teams with Randy Pobst in the #181 Team Janica VW GTI,
continued his streak of three top five qualifiers in the last six races,
placing his car 5th on the grid overall.

White on his qualifying: "I am pretty happy with my qualifying. The crew
worked really hard to give me the best car possible and I gave them my
best in return. Given one more lap and I think I'd have seen a top
three, but that's just the way racing goes. My last two races here at
Miller have ended with podiums, so I hope to keep my streak alive
tomorrow!"

APR Motorsport races tomorrow, Sunday, September 21 at 11:15am local
time. Real Time scoring of the race will be available at
konichallenge.com tomorrow during the 2.5 hour race.
